Transform Your Sterilization Process with Advanced Digital Monitoring

Go Beyond Pass/Fail: Gain Actionable Insights, Predict Maintenance, and Drive Efficiency

Traditional Bowie-Dick testing is slow, manual, and reactive. Most hospitals still rely on paper logs, subjective interpretations, and delayed responses to sterilizer issues. This leads to:

  • Missed early signs of equipment failure

  • Time-consuming, error-prone documentation

  • Inconsistent compliance across shifts or sites

  • Costly downtime and reprocessing events

  • Limited visibility into performance trends

That’s why Solventum developed the 3M™ Attest™ eBowie-Dick Test System—a digital, objective alternative to the traditional BD pack. And with Ascendco Analytics, those test results are instantly captured, analyzed over time, and transformed into actionable insights.

Ascendco’s Sonar Platform: The Power Behind the Analytics

Ascendco’s Sonar platform seamlessly integrates with the Solventum eBD test, providing the advanced analytics that simplify, standardize, and streamline your process.

Move from reactive to proactive.

This time-series view of eBD test outcomes highlights changes in sterilizer performance over time, allowing hospitals to predict maintenance needs and avoid costly downtime through early intervention and ongoing monitoring.

Uncover the “why” behind failure events.

Categorizing failures by cause—wet sets, equipment failure, or failed test—this chart helps hospitals address the specific root issues affecting sterilization outcomes, leading to smarter maintenance and improved patient safety3M Analytics Description.

Track patterns to reduce risk.

This chart visualizes failures across multiple categories—failed loads, failed biological indicators, and failed chemical indicators—enabling teams to spot recurring issues, implement timely corrective actions, and strengthen infection prevention efforts3M Analytics Description.

Smarter Data. Safer Patients. Stronger Compliance.

Understand Performance Over Time
Ascendco Analytics captures and organizes daily eBowie-Dick test results, giving you a clear view of how each sterilizer is performing over time. By visualizing trends, teams can identify gradual declines in performance before they cause test failures or impact patient safety.

Detect Issues Before They Disrupt
Most sterilizer failures aren’t sudden—they’re detectable. With Ascendco, consistent monitoring helps you identify early signs of malfunction. This enables facilities to take preventive action, reducing unplanned downtime, wet packs, and costly reprocessing events.
Eliminate Manual Logging & Support Survey Readiness
Rather than relying on paper logs or scattered spreadsheets, all test results are digitally recorded, timestamped, and linked to specific sterilizers. This creates an audit-ready trail of compliance documentation aligned with AAMI ST79 and Joint Commission standards.
Create Consistency Across Facilities
Whether you manage one hospital or a multi-site network, Ascendco enables you to standardize sterilizer monitoring. With centralized data, you can benchmark performance, identify systemic issues, and reduce variability in documentation practices.
Maximize ROI with Predictive Monitoring
Avoid up to $60,000 in reactive costs per sterilizer—realizing a 9:1 return through proactive maintenance and downtime prevention.

Frequently asked questions

Solventum provides the digital Bowie-Dick hardware. Ascendco unlocks the analytics layer—automating test logging, surfacing performance trends, and triggering proactive maintenance workflows.

After running the 3M™ Attest™ eBowie-Dick Test, the user scans the test card and inserts it into the eBD reader. The system instantly provides a pass/fail result based on sterilizer performance. From there, Ascendco Analytics automatically captures the result, links it to the sterilizer and timestamp, and stores it digitally—eliminating the need for manual logging or paper records.

No. The eBD module can run as a standalone solution via hello.ascendco.cloud, or integrate with our Sonar/SQ.track platform if you’re already using Ascendco.

The system tracks test results over time, allowing you to catch recurring failures, sudden performance changes, or slow degradation in sterilizer effectiveness.

Absolutely. eBD results are logged automatically with timestamps, user IDs, sterilizer info, and lot numbers—creating a complete, audit-ready digital record every day.

Yes. Ascendco supports multi-site visibility, so you can monitor sterilizer performance trends across your IDN and benchmark between locations.

The system flags the failed result, logs it digitally, and alerts designated users. You’ll also see that sterilizer’s performance trend on the dashboard—enabling faster root cause analysis and follow-up.

Yes. Our team handles everything from integration to training. Whether you’re going standalone or plugging into Sonar/SQ.track, we’ll get you live—fast.

Yes. The eBowie-Dick test is a validated digital replacement for traditional paper-based BD tests. When combined with Ascendco’s analytics, it not only streamlines your documentation—but also gives you the predictive power to prevent downtime and optimize performance.
